Sophia is ours!!!!

A celebration is in order!!!!! As of 5 pm today Sophia is officially our daughter! The time has elapsed for the birth family to rescind their decision. We have had little doubt regarding the firmness of their decision as they had signed all of the paperwork several months ago. However, knowing they still have had this time has been in the back of our minds. We have always known that the Lord is in control, yet at the same time it is nice to have this behind us. Thank you for all of your prayers in this area.

We spoke also spoke with the manager today regarding our stay tomorrow night. She rearranged a few things so that we don't have to move out of the room tomorrow. I know it doesn't sound like much but we have pretty much moved into and are pretty settled in this hotel room. It would have been a headache to move out of here for just one night. We are also have this room reserved until the 9th but hopefully we will be long gone by then :-)

Today started off a little rainy but cleared up pretty quick and was cool enough for us to decide to venture outside for a little walk. Fredericksburg, VA is surrounded by Civil War battlefields which Jay has been anxious to check out. We got to learn a little history and also get Sophia out to walk on a trail and get some fresh air. Sophia will make her Grandfather Burns proud knowing that she is already a Civil War buff.
